Technician exam question T1A04
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1A · 47 CFR §97.23
How do you receive official notification of your new license and call sign after passing the exam?
- A.Email from the FCC with a link to download the license grant (correct answer)
- B.USPS First-Class Mail from the FCC
- C.Email from the lead volunteer examiner
- D.USPS First-Class Mail from the lead volunteer examiner
WhyNew licensees are notified of their license grant and call sign by email from the FCC, with a link to download the license grant. Under §97.23, the FCC no longer mails paper license documents. Once your application is granted, the FCC's Universal Licensing System emails you a notice with a link to download your official license grant, which is answer A. B and D describe postal mail, which the FCC stopped using for this purpose. C is wrong because a volunteer examiner administers your test but has no authority to issue or transmit the license itself, that's entirely an FCC function.
